However, if they want to wait awhile for an answer, I would be happy to reconsider. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 11, 1981 Dear Hugo: I hadn't forgotten James Bond. I didn't know he was interested in the Director of Selective Service. We will be making a de- cision on that shortly. I will certainly keep your comments in mind. Warm regards, MICHAEL K.

BECKER May 7, 1981 Vice President & Founding Director Mr. Michael K. Deaver Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D. C. Subject: Dr. James G. Bond Currently - Deputy Director of Selective Service Dear Mike, I understand that Jim Bond is amongst the leading contenders for Director of Selective Service. At the risk of being redundant, I believe he can be a real value to the Reagan Administration in that position, for the following reasons:- 1) He is a proven successful executive with considerable politi- cal background. 2) He has on numerous occasions been challenged by organized "left wing" groups and in "head to head" sessions succeeded in con- consolidating the positions of his conservative and well function- ing management programs. 3) He is a conservative registered democrat who can be expected to work well with the "Reagan Program". 4) He is a very intelligent "Black" who knows his capabilities and therefore has never needed to over-react because he is colored. He is liked and respected by those who work with and for him. In 1972 he was the first black to be elected to the presidency of a major Western University. 4) He has had valuable executive experience in the Selective Service Department. Having known Dr. Bond since 1972, I believe he will be in a posi- tion to win friends for the Reagan Administration. Also, to help neutralize the effectiveness of many of its critics. Sincerely, Hugo E. Becker mm/ FILENIA N/A MONROE COUNTY PAUL BRENN EE REEDERS PA 15352 717-830-7212 629-2405 May 11,1981 COUNTY CHAIRMAN PAUL BRENN Mr. Michael Deaver C/o Ofc. of the President White House, Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. Deaver: We wish to urge immediate resignation of William Webster. We need a NEW MAN more in agreement with The President. We would also like to express concern that Hinckley's nem was NOT on the 'Watch close' list' after his Tennessee encounter. We agree with Patterson Strategy letter that en. Dan. Graham or Gen. Singlaub would be good replecament men. Frankly, Mr. Deaver, WE ALSO BELIEVE the assassination attempt was a CONSPIR- ACY; may well be tried again and again, and that David Rockefeller is not to be trusted one minute. We were horrified to see the photo in SPOTLIGHT last fall, of the now presi- dent DINING WITH ROCKEFELLER! I hope we NEVER see these two together again! To us, President Reagan is the United States' LAST HOPE to throw off the yoke of Socialism-Communism which leads into abject SLAVERY! Already the TV tries to belittle the programs, AND forecast DOOM ahead. This we think is because Rockefeller controls the media, every word.Hr- ROCKEFELLER is our very worst enemy- and he is witnin our ranks. We PRAY for President Reagan's very LIFE as he bucks a man so set on world dictatership. We simply cannot get all our friends to write in as we do, but, believe me , in conversation, they, too, rely on Pres. Reagan absolutely! Bush as president would be a mitigated disaster. We also pray for the financial CRASH, which may be the only way to bring Rockefeller to his knees. This idea of U.S. assuming foreign debts for the citizens here to pay indicates the ANTI- U.S. attitude of the Rocke- feller banking system. Also we stand for release of Hess, and return of Wallenburg as US Citizen. If only some of these acts could get rolling, the people may be better able to see the direction of future U.S. policy as against formerly surrendering attitudes! Please do your utmost FOR AMERICA! Yours most sincerely PaulBrem Paul Brenn (Now Republican, but fearful we have a Rockefeller REGISTER AND VOTE CONSTITUTIONAL DICTATORSHIP already!) NRD THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 11, 1981 Dear Dennis: As much as I would love to get you on the plane to Notre Dame, I am sorry, but it's full. If only I had known a little sooner, we might have been able to squeeze you in. I look forward to seeing you soon. Warm regards, MICHAEL K.

Deaver Company, Deputy Chief of Staff and Inc. Assistant to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20050 Dear Mike, In my 34-plus years, the two events which have meant the most to me are the Presidential Inauguration of Ronald Reagan and my graduation from the University of Notre Dame. The fact that President Reagan will give his first commencement address (as President) at Notre Dame on May 17th makes me doubly proud -- one, to have known and worked for the President; and two, to be a Notre Dame alumnus. This may sound presumptuous (but I am slowly learning that there is little lost in asking) if there is a vacant seat to and from South Bend on May 17th, I'd love to be the occupant. I'll be in Washington on business between May 15th through 18th anyway, so hitching a ride would be easy if it's possible. No need to reply, Mike, if policy or circumstances preclude my making the trip. In any event, maybe I'll see you in and about your office on May 18th. Warm regards, Drumin Dennis Hunt THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 12, 1981 Dear Trent: Thank you very much for your letter of April 14th expressing your interest in the Administration's position on the legis- lative veto. We appreciate your interest in this matter, and in the principles of the Republican Party Platform and the President's campaign. The Administration is giving serious consideration to the matter of the legislative veto in a variety of channels. The subject has been discussed at a Cabinet Council, within the Office of Management and Budget, and within the framework of the review of Federal regulatory procedures being supervised by Vice President Bush. In testimony before a House Judiciary subcommittee May 7, James C. Miller of the Administration's task force on Regulation indicated our willingness to consider some legislative veto provisions for the independent regulatory commissions. I appreciate your concerns on this topic, and am grateful for your comments. Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff The Honorable Trent Lott House of Representatives Office of the Republican Whip Washington, D.C. 20515 CF 021923 File N/A May 12,1981 Arthur R. Tirado 1696 W. Shaw Avenue- Apt 113 Fresno, California 93711 Hon; Michael K. Deaver Assitant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D. C.20270 Dear Mr. Deaver; I trust that you are well and happy. I know that in the game of politics and with the pressures that you must be under, being both well and happy at the same time, is a luxury that a White House Deputy Chief cannot afford, although God-knows that you are entitled to more than prestige. In view that the Congree is now discussing the "Strikers and Welfare" issue, I have taken the liberty of mailing Mr. Robert Carlson, a study that I did present to the President, while governor of California in Anril 10, 1971. The issues and the suggestions of ten years ago, are still as evident today. I do hope that Mr. Carlson may use these, but in view that he did not answer my first letter in March, in which I mailed him some thoughts on cost reductions in his Welfare study, I am sending you a duplicate of the original presentation on the subject. Again, thanks for your expedient answer to my first letter and your thoughtfulness. It is rare for an important person like you to be so attentive. I was very happy to see my personal friend of 25 years, Mr. Michael Cardenas be appointed to the directorship of Small Business. I understand that he is doing a very fine job, in spite of the short time in office. Mr. Phillip Sanchez, another friend and neighbor in Fresno, California, would have done an admirable job too bad. Let me know if I can be of any assistance to you in California. Please phone me at (209) 226 5202. As always. P/w Kindly say hello to Mr. Ed Gray. I am on the advisory board of San Diego Savings & Loans, while Mr. Gray was on the executive board of the same company before his appointment. I and the board wish him luck. ma. ARTHUR R.

MITCHELL, CHAIRMAN April 10, 1971 THOMAS G. DAUGHERTY DR. WALTER W. DOLFINI MRS. DOROTHY D. NATLAND ALAN S. RAFFEE "STRIKERS APPLYING FOR MRS. ALEXANDER RIPLEY ARTHUR R. TIRADO WELFARE ASSISTANCE." SENATOR STEPHEN P. TEALE SENATOR WILLIAM E. COOMBS ASSEMBLYMAN JOHN BURTON ASSEMBLYMAN KENT H. STACEY JACK W. THOMPSON, EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Governor Ronald Reagan Capitol Building Sacramento, California Dear Governor: The Social Welfare Board, being cognizant of the fiscal limitations of our State, and vividly aware of the heavy load that could be placed on the already breaking back of our entire country, did hold two public hearings on 'Strikers applying for Welfare, Health, and other services. Soon you will be getting a Board report on this new and most frightening phenomena. The Board attempts to give you the philosophical, moral, and social aspects of the issues, as non-expertees see them. The report also presents the ambivalent views exposed by Management and by the Unions. After the hearings, I brought to the Board's business meeting, a series of positive recommendations that, although technical in nature, went into more detail than the position taken by the Board. It was the consensus of the Board that, because of my 'in-depth study', I should send you and the Director of Welfare, the following suggestions: SUGGESTIONS: 1. All striking unions must stipulate that their strike fund, as well as other contigency funds, have been depleted before they advise and direct their members to obtain any form of Governmental assistance. 2. All striking members must withdraw all assets that they may have in the union, and in the company that is being struck. (Stocks, pension funds, separation pay, vacation pay, insurance reserves, credit union funds, etc.) = Governor Ronald Reagan April 10, 1971 Page Two - Strikers Continued 3a. Verification that the union member is not working, must be given to all its striking members in the form of a 'CUT-OFF' slip. b. Unemployment verifications must also be given, by the struck industry, to all its 'involuntary released' employees. c. These 'cut-off verifications' by the union and by the industry management, must be presented to the eligibility worker, or the intake clerk at the 'HRD' office. This will assist the department in properly classifying, and information coding, to ultimately find the applicant another position. d. Only after all avenues of obtaining employment have been completed (OJT, WIN, SPECIAL GOV. PROJECTS, etc.) will the department of Human Resources transfer the applicant-striker to the County Welfare Department for assistance. e. Periodic visits, to the office of 'HRD' must be instituted for all welfare recipients, be they strikers or not. In the case of farm laborers, they must register at the Farm Labor Office. (This is now being done for Unemployment Insurance.) 4. Striking members must conform with all the regulations of the welfare department. They must be available and looking for work at all times, merely reporting to the Union hiring hall is not enough. (See Section #11-30-3 a and b, of the Welfare and Institutions Code.) 5. Union members, who are on welfare, should not be used by the striking union for picketing. The only exception would be if he, or she, would be paid for such services. The amount paid for picketing must be declared in his 'Outside Income Declara- tion. 6a. In the localities where strikes are about to occur, or have just been declared, the county administrator should inform all 'eligibility workers' and at the HRD office, all employment service officers, also should be made aware of the possible application by strikers. b. All intake workers of HRD and welfare should request from all applicants to produce their 'Union Cut-Off slip' given to them by their striking union. Governor Ronald Reagan April 10, 1971 Page Three - Strikers Continued C. At the welfare office, the applicant should show, the eligibility worker, his union 'Cut-Off Slip' as well as the 'HRD' unemployment documentation. 7. In some small counties, where possible conflict of interest could exist, due to the eligibility worker and the striking union-welfare recipient being friends, or neighbors, a neutral team of eligibility workers may be brought in from an adjoining county, or from the State's office of Social Welfare. 8. Unions, as well as management, will give full cooperation to both the Welfare Department and to the "HRD' Department. This will authorize their union stewards, and management's personnel staff to open their personnel records and assist, the Welfare and HRD department's assigned employees, to verify any infor- mation needed in the processing of striker's employment or welfare application. 9. Legislation be introduced to have the working in the State's Unemployment Insurance Code, and the State's Welfare and Institutions Code be made more compatible where the law refers to labor disputes. (California Law, Chapter 1, Article 1, Section 100 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, "Not to use State funds in the interference of labor disputes.") 10. Congressional representatives, and the Federal Director of Agriculture, be informed of the disparity of giving Federal surplus foods, and stamps, to strikers, especially when the striking employee has been employed by a firm who receives all, or part of its funds, from the Federal Government. 10a. Post Offices, Naval Docks, all military facilities, General Services, etc. b. All State, County and City Government facilities that receive any federal (matching) funds. This refers mostly to the Welfare 'Categorical Aid Programs.' 11. The State to continue putting pressure on Congress to amend the "Stamps and Surplus Food Act,' to permit States to invoke guidelines that strikers, as well as other applicants of aid, must follow. (Applies to all previous numbered suggestions.)

COOMBS ASSEMBLYMAN JOHN BURTON ASSEMBLYMAN KENT H. STACEY JACK W. THOMPSON, EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Governor Ronald Reagan April 10, 1971 Page Four - Strikers Continued 12. The 'Welfare and Institutions Code' be amended to permit the placing of liens on the assets of all strikers, where the applicant for aid, or other State services has received funds, and then the Departments find either fraud, overpayment, death, or the danger of the recipient selling, or transferring any of his assets. Some questions were brought up by the Welfare Board, on the probability that because of the children some cases might require special study, and a humanitarian procedure. There was also the belief that because some union members might have just joined the Union, they might not have had an opportunity to save. The Board, also brought up the speculation that there are rich and poor unions, and that in different industries wages fluctuate between $1.30 to $10.00 an hour. PRESIDENT PRESIDENT! Governor it is my contention that the State must avoid any criticism, by its entering into the philosophical arguments that were presented by both Management and by the Unions. With a Solomonic wisdom we should avoid, at all cost, tipping the scales in either direction. The State must be prepared to take immediate, practical and innovative remedies before the stability of a balanced budget is completely ripped asunder, and the welfare monster increase its avaricious appetite. As always, Arthur R. Tirado Arthur R. Tirado Member of the State Social Welfare Board.

She has been very active in the Republican Party in past years. Unfortunately, her activities in this area have been curtailed recently by illness. However, she does remember you and felt you might be of some help to me and my group. My request is on behalf of the San Jose Patriots of the California Youth Soccer Association, a soccer team comprised of fifteen 13 and 14 year-old boys from San Jose, California. We are planning a trip the the Washington area for the Springfield International Memorial Day Tournament being held Memorial Day weekend. We are the first team from California to attend this annual event. Since we're travelling so far we are staying a full week so that the boys will be able to tour our Nations Capitol thoroughly. Of course, the White House is on the top of our list, especially since President Reagan is from our state. Congressman Mineta's office tells us no group tours are being booked for the White House in advance, but that a new ticket system is being implemented starting May 23 wherein each potential visitor goes to a ticket booth near the White House at 8:00 a.m. to see what is available for that day. We were going to attempt this procedure either Tuesday, May 26 or Wed., May 27. Is there any possible way we might be able to circumvent this procedure and obtain tickets in advance due to our group's special circumstances? Our boys will be staying in pairs with local host families and will be quite spread out. Also, is there any chance the team might be able to meet President Reagan or a member of his staff during their tour? Most of our boys are graduating from the 8th grade this June and have been studying Government this year. That fact, com- bined with the recent Presidential elections, has made these young men very inter- ested in governmental procedures and institutions. Any assistance you can render would be deeply appreciated. Very truly yours, Diane Custer Diane Custer Secretary, Patriots DC/dc P.S. I forgot to mention that there will be approximately 9 chaperons with the boys. Also, we will be leaving Friday, May 22, for Washington. 24 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 13, 1981 Dear Tony: Thank you so much for your nice letter. It was, indeed, a pleasure for Carolyn and me to visit with you at the opera. We would very much like to join you in New York sometime dur- ing next year's season, and we look forward to seeing you at the Joffrey II performance on May 18. Sincerely, MICHAEL K.

Deaver The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Michael: to I very much enjoyed the opportunity to sit down talk with you at the opening of the Opera last week. I am sorry that you were not able to come to TRAVIATA, it was an outstanding performance. I was hoping that we would see you when Sally and her dancers went to the White House. I would have liked to introduce you to Sally but perhaps we will have another opportunity. Incidentally, if you are attending the Joffrey II performance on May 18, she will be there and I may be with her. Sometime I would like to talk with you about government support of the Arts. I am not really talking about immediate funding since I believe that if the President's program is to be successful, cuts have to be made in every area but I am concerned for the future. I have been involved in several different disciplines over a long period of time and on both sides of the footlights. As soon as we publish next year's schedule, I will send you a copy in the hope that you will join us for dinner and the opera during your earliest visit to New York.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 4, 1981 MEMORANDUM TO MICHAEL DEAVER FROM: MICHAEL EVANS M.E. Enclosed are two requests for photo sessions with the President and or the First Lady. The first is from Arnold Newman. While Arnold does not have as big a reputation as Karsh of Ottawa, he is in my opinion a much better portraitist. Arnold is asking for a session in the Oval Office and a session in the East Wing with the President and First Lady. I would like to endorse his request and suggest that we schedule the Oval Office session on one day and the two of them together on the next. The second request is from Eddie Adams on behalf of Parade Magazine to accompany the President's first-person article for the July 4th issue. Eddie wants to do a portrait of the President holding a small American flag on a plain white background. I believe Greg has tentatively scheduled this for May 13.

Again, what we hope you would do is to help us schedule a private photo session with President Reagan before May 14, 1981. One idea is to have the President photographed comfortably with a small flag in his hand. (You get the flag). I think it would be a dramatic portrait of Mr. Reagan, a profound statement about the human quality of the man. Thank you for your help, Mike. Please give my best to Larry.

DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. Charles B. Thornton Litton Industries 360 North Crescent Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 BCC: Jay Maschead MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 5, 1981 MEMORANDUM TO: JAY MOORHEAD FROM: MICHAEL K. DEAVER m SUBJECT: Board for International Broadcasting Do we have any more spots on the Board for International Broadcasting or something similar? Mike- Niching on B 1B but I have sent reserve over to Roralis Vasilia who will look for another appropriate spot get but to me " R.V. LITTON INDUSTRIES 360 North Crescent Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210 213 273-7860 Charles B. Thornton, Chairman of the Board April 27, 1981 Dear Mike: Your mail must be running at about the same flood level as the Mississippi after a big winter thaw, but I venture to add to it with one more personnel suggestion -- for one of those positions on the Board for International Broadcasting. The nominee: Col. Barney Oldfield, USAF (Ret.), who is a well-known-to and longtime associate of the President. He has many involvements which would seem to match the position well - Trustee of Edward R. Murrow Symposium, Washington State University; was the founder of the Radio and Television News Directors Foundation and administers its endowed scholarships program; is on the Board of Advisors to the Dean of the School of Journalism, University of Nebraska; has lived, worked and done assignments of one kind or another in 69 countries on every continent; and when we had a Litton International Development Corporation he was one of its Vice Presidents. He has been our point of contact in East/West trade, and exchange relations with Communist Bloc countries, SO has no illusions about the game-playing. He is widely acquainted with key people, knowledgable, remembers everybody and they remember him, knows where to go to get answers and has wide access to all kinds of information. He is constantly sought out by professionals for backgrounders on locales, personalities, and how to get from here to there. He has been variously a newspaperman, worked in radio, was a Hollywood publicist at Warner Brothers (where the President was one of his personalities assigned), was the longest timer of regular military officers in public affairs and was the first newspaperman to become a paratrooper when the Army started that branch of service. He is a professional writer, scripts, books, magazine pieces, speeches (frequently picked up in Vital Speeches of the Day and the Congressional RECORD). He wrote many of the one-liners for the President's campaign. He has been with me now for more than 18 years, is an adept and skilled staff man, a great admirer and respecter of President Reagan to whom he has been dedicated for nearly four decades. This will give you enough of an idea to make a determination whether to pursue the suggestion further, and I appreciate very much your giving it your attention. Sincerely, Charles B. Thornton Mr. Michael Deaver, Special Assistant to the President, The White House, Washington, DC 20006 MRD MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 13, 1981 MEMORANDUM TO: JAMES A.
